SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 7 83,714, datedFebruary 28, 1905.

Application filed November 20, 1903. Serial No. 181,900-

To all whom it Hui/y {XI/1,0877%."

Be it known that I, W ARI-mu C. W UNDER, a citizen of the United States,residing at VVyncote, county of Montgoniery,and Stateo'l Penn- 5sylvania, have invented a new and useful improvement in Toy Windmills,of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part ofthis specifica- I tio'n.

My invention has for its object certain improvei'nei'its in that classof toys which are known as "\vindmills, in which a series 016' vanes arepivotally attached at or near one end 5 of a bar and a handle orgrasping portion formed on the other end. These vanes are in practicegenerally formed of paper, although sometimes they are formed of metal.With the ordinary toy windmill just described the amusement derived isthat of seeing the vanes propelled around by the wind.

The purpose of my invention is in the class of toys just described togive an added amusement.

To that end i. combine with such a device a bell placed in suchproximity to the vanes that in the revolution of the vanes the bell isoperated by elappers attached near the outer edges of the'suecessivevanes as they pass the point of attachment of the bell.

I will nowdescribc my improvei'nent as embodied in the accompanyingdrawings and then point out the invention in the claims.

In the drawings, Figure l is a front view of my improved machine. Fig. 2is a side view of the same.

A is the upright stick or red, to the upper end of which is pivotallyconnected the central hub Z), having the projecting fan-shzuved vanes B.Each vane has one straight side edge ex tending in a radial directionfrom the axis of the hub and is thence curved outwardly away from thestick toward the other side edge, the width 0] 'each vane graduallyincreasing from its inner end to its outer end.

The lower end of the stick or red is preferably rounded to form agrasping portion. Secured to the stick or rod A below the hub Z) and ata greater distance therefrom than the length of the vanes is the bell C.Loosely attached 5 to each vane B near its straight side edge and itsouter edge is the clapper l). In the revolution of the hub as thesuccessive vanes E pass in proximity to the hell 0 the clappers .l)strike the bell in succession.

lilaving now fully described my invention, what I. claim, and desire toprotect by Letters Patent, is

1. As a new article of manufacture, a toy v windmill comprising anupright stick or rod, a 60 plurality of fan-shaped vanes pivoted on ahorizontal axis on the upper end of said rod. a bell secured to saidstick beneath said vanes, and clappers loosely attached to the vanesnear their outer edges and adapted to successively 5 strike the bell inthe rotation of the vanes, substantially described.

9.. As a new article of manufacture, a toy windmill comprising anupright stick or rod, a plurality of fan-shaped vanes pivoted on a hori-7 zontal axis on the upper end of said rod, each vane having onestraight side edge extending in a radial direction from its axis ofrotation and thence bent outwardly toward its other side edge, the widthof each vane gradually 75 increasing from the inner end to the outer endthereof, a bell secured to said stick or rod below said 11 ab and at agreater distance therefrom than the length of the vanes, and a clapperloosely attached to each vane near the corner 30 formed at the junctionof its outer edge and straight side edge, substai'ltiall y as dascribed.

.l n testimony oi which invention .1 have hereunto set my hand, atPhiladel ihia, Pennsylvania, on this 11th day of November, 1903.
